"This is a letter of thanks. I took your Intermediate voice over class a while back with Gene Weygandt. Who was wonderful by the way. And since that class, I booked a cable job that got me my SAG card and today I just booked a United Airlines national spot. So to that I say thank you because I used the method. And the method worked. Just thought you should know."- Maura Corey
"Thanks so much for the Disney on Ice and New York, New York jobs! But thanks especially for the Kalmenson Method and your splendid direction that enabled me to book them!"
- Jimmy Hodson
"I've booked my first spot (for a Levi's dealer). Without your support and the two classes I took from you, it never would have happened. Thanks for giving me the inspiration to go forward with my voice over career."
- Steve Shwetz
"Not only am I now privy to the invaluable Kalmenson Method, but I've also really begun to dig inside myself to 'peel away those layers' and I know that this will enhance every aspect of my life!"
- Sheri Donovan
"I've taken a lot of classes and I'm so glad I found yours because it has given me so much I can carry with me, and more importantly confirmed my TRUTHS to myself. Thank you for pushing me beyond my comfort zone. The class is awesome!"
- Amber Hood
"I finally feel comfortable with who I am and feel appreciated for it. I loved the 'working outside your comfort zone' night as well as all dialogue workouts. I also like the 'working pro' feel of the entire class - down to the 'agreements'. The level of commitment was contagious! I wish I could do this class again and again. Thank you! P.S. Can we all start a commune and live together and have a working pro class 24 hours a day??? Just kidding."
- Lisa Kaplan
"Thank you so much for a wonderful class. For the first time in my VO career I feel as though I'm speaking with my own voice and my own perspective and not someone else's idea of how I should sound. The permission you provided through "The Method" was invaluable; I wish you'd been around in S.F. I'm actually enjoying auditioning and worrying less and less about getting it right. VO is not easy and requires a specific set of acting skills that I did not pick up readily. After this past six weeks I feel my work has grown more than in the past six years. I will be referring everyone who asks me about VO to y'all."
- Elizabeth Payne
"I come away from you with a whole new set of tools reforged from old skills, and a confidence and excitement in my acting that I haven't felt in a long time. And because acting is so much of who I am, you really have changed my life. I can't explain what's happened to me in the past few weeks, but I'm grateful for the gifts you've given me, and for reminding me of the many gifts, occasions long-forgotten, that have been given to me over the years. Thanks."
- Gene Weygandt
"Cathy, how could six weeks go by so fast? I'm finding new things (with practice) and exploring all the elements and tools you've given me to work with. Thanks for a fresh (and growing) start, and a new attitude!"
- Telma Hopkins 'Family Matters', '227', 'Tony Orlando & Dawn'
"What a wonderful class, with applications beyond this business, but truly a useful approach to life."- Rif Hutton
"Your Kalmenson Method really works! I've been telling everyone I work with about your workshop and I hope I can send some talented people your way. Yours is by far the best workshop I have ever taken. I will recommend you to everyone I know."
- Linda Sypien
"I am having the best year and I attribute that to you and your class. Cheers!"
- Leif Anders
"I want you to know how much I enjoyed working with you in class these past six weeks. I think it really freed me up. I also found that it helped in my on-camera career. I booked a MOW, a soap opera and six commercials while I was with you. Not only are you a terrific teacher but a good luck charm."
- Robert Clotworthy
"What can I say? You gave me my start and now I am making a living at this. I will always be there when you need me. I owe you a lot!"
- Michael Reisz
"I learned a lot about my strengths and weaknesses and I thought the class was highly organized and worth every penny! Honestly, I would recommend this as a great work out and 'reality check' for any professional."
- Janice Kent
"I've booked voice overs for Kia and for Malaysia Airlines. I really think it's due, in large part, to what I learned in your Working Pro class. So...thanks!"
- Stanton Schnepp
"You have no idea the change I have discovered in my work in just this short period of time..."
- Edward A. Mackay
"I wanted to let you know that I continue to be amazed with the training program you offer. My 6 weeks of traveling almost 1/3 of the way around the globe (over 9,000 miles) was well worth the financial and emotional investment. Not only did I learn a lot about myself and the voice-over industry, but I gained a level of focus and confidence in using an approach to V.O. which is simple, concise, and meaningful. (Regardless of the results of my auditions, I can always say I've done all I can to be as focused, relaxed, and ready using what I learned in the class). I have this noticeable glowing-confident 'aura' about me - kind of like being 'unmelted' as a Hershey chocolate bar in the desert."
- Graham Tilly
"I credit so much of the freedom and personal signature info I learned from you with booking two on-camera national commercials this year!"
- Cheryl O'Neil
"I'm proud to say, (if you haven't already heard) that Evan (J. Bonifant) booked the role of 'Buster' in the new Blues Brothers 2000 movie, starring Dan Aykroyd."
- Petie Bonifant
"You helped me find the real me as an actor. I couldn't have done it without you."
- Andrew Goodwin
"Thank you for helping me to remember that in voice acting, as in the rest of my life, I have to trust myself and go for it. I got so much, personally and professionally, out of your class - it was a wonderful experience."
- Darlene Mumm
"You really helped me gain focus and direction."
- Stacy Leah Winkler
"Thanks for the epiphany....no lie. Much love and appreciation."
- Carolyn Hennesy
"Thank you for the best adventure that I have had in years."
- Carl Collins
"I enjoyed your class, and how very useful and practical the information is. I am enjoying putting it into practice."
- Nancy Linari
"I had specific goals and reasons for studying with you. Now that I have had a few days to reflect upon our six weeks together, I realize that what you gave me was much more important than a method for interpreting copy. You showed me how important introspection is as well as the significance of knowing one's own truth. Furthermore, I know this discipline will carry on into all aspects of my life forever."
- Andrea Wynn
"I can only thank you again for the wonderful work you helped me achieve in your class over the past six weeks. Your classroom is a wonderful place for an actor to work: it was challenging and aggressive, mixed with professionalism and humor."
- Paul Hungerford
"I felt inspired and invigorated, and took every bit to heart. Subsequent auditions improved."
- Laurel Page
"Your class was so... 'solid'! Thank you for sharing your expertise/experience in the business of voiceovers with others! I would certainly recommend your class to anyone seriously interested in voice-over work. Not only did I find your class to be informative, but life inspiring as well! Because it is all about the truth, isn't it? When we commit to the truth both in our professional, as well as our personal life, the rewards are eminent."
- Judy Greenberg
"Wow! What a class. I never expected to take a voice-over workshop and come away with a new and more open perspective on my life. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I've always been more comfortable playing characters than myself. That's probably why my animation tape is complete and my commercial tape is not. However, after taking your workshop, I am very exciting by the challenge to "let go" into my own signature personality and voice-over talent. I feel very lucky to have met you before I plunged into recording my commercial demo. Thank you again for an incredibly rewarding experience."
- Robert "Zundy" Kramer
"I had to express my gratitude to you both for bringing me to the next development along my path...the possibility of an arena to make my heart sing once again... the ability to embrace my truth and find it something really worth embracing...the professionalism and support and guidance that makes one feel very singular and special in an arena and an age when many are left to feel not special and of the unnoticed many instead of the selected few...you both are very singular in your approaches yet very collective in your knowledge...talk about a winning combination to study with...wow!"
- Patricia Richards
"Your class was a great experience for Shanie. The Kalmenson Method has improved her acting skills more than any other class she has taken. She has developed a depth that wasn't there before. Thank you!"
- Keera Calahan
"Your personal attention and dedication is unending. Thank you so much for your encouragement and your incredibly detailed critique and analysis."
- Pam McCullough
"I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the class! It was so well organized and I really learned a lot about the voice-over world. I was impressed with the structure and the meat of the course. Your staff and studio really are head and shoulders above the rest."
- Kelly Hawthorne
"How exhilarating to be in a class where I learned something, where I was challenged creatively, where I was respected for my talent, and where I was appreciated for being me. I found my voice at Kalmenson & Kalmenson."
- Judy Nazemetz
"The classes are super. They help you understand trends, sharpen your skills, and define your own voice-over signature. Nobody knows the business better."
- Gale Van Cott
"I feel like I just got out of therapy. I can't wait to apply all I've learned to voice over and to life. With obnoxious sincerity."
- Joanna
